The purpose of this policy brief is to assess the European Union’s approaches to addressing the problems in the energy sector caused by Russia’s armed aggression against Ukraine, to identify the positive and negative consequences of such approaches and the potential consequences of such decisions for Ukraine.
The document contains a short analysis of the content and key aspects of the RepowerEU plan, a review of this plan by other environmental organizations, and a discussion of potential consequences of implementing this plan into Ukrainian legislation.
The relevance of the given policy paper lies in the fact that Ukraine is currently on the path of integration into the European Union. The decisions made in the EU directly affect the vector of the development of Ukrainian society. Given the significant destruction of the Ukrainian energy system, this opens up the possibility of its restoration/rebuilding in line with the EU energy development trends centered around low-carbon approach, diversification, and energy efficiency.
